Research

My main research interest is in the foundations of AI. In particular, I study the relationships between symbolic AI formalisms, such as various logics (Description Logics, Temporal Logics, Datalog) and query languages (SPARQL, Regular Path Queries, OTTR), and sub-symbolic approaches, including ML formalisms (Graph Neural Networks, Markov Logic Networks). Such relationships are in the heart of Explainable, Trustworthy, and Green AI.

Short Bio

I received my MSc (Specialist, 2005) and PhD (Candidate, 2009) degrees from Lomonosov Moscow State University under supervision of Prof. Vladimir A. Zakharov; my thesis was in the area of Programming Languages. From 2010 to 2013, I was a research fellow at the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, UK, where I contributed to the foundations of Databases in the group of Prof. Peter Buneman. From 2013 to 2020, I was a Departmental Lecturer at the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford, UK, where I researched on the foundations of the Semantic Web and Knowledge Bases in the group of Prof. Ian Horrocks. Since 2020, I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Informatics at the University of Oslo, where my research interests extended to the the connections of Symbolic and Sub-Symbolic AI.
